MORPHOLOGICAL CHANGES OF LYMPHOID APPARATUS OF THE LARYNX AFTER EXPERIMENTAL EXPOSURE TO VARIOUS BALNEAL FACTORS
The aim of this investigation was to detect the structural changes of lymphoid components of rat pharynx in an experiment after a course of exposure to various balneal procedures. The studies were performed on 90 outbred mature 3 month-old male rats (20 animals in each experimental group and 10 animals in each control groups). The animals were exposed to a course of weakly mineralized organic bituminous, thermal iodobromine and strong (concentrated) sulfide baths present on the territory of Azerbaijan. The experiments performed have shown a significant sensitivity of the lymphoid structures of the rat pharynx to the balneal procedures. After exposure to iodobromine and bituminous baths, the signs of lymphocytopoiesis activation were noted. The exposure to strong sulfide baths resulted in a morphological regression of lymphoid apparatus of rat larynx, which raises the question on the expediency of the use of these procedures in practical balneology.
